How are TSA Scores determined?

The Software Authority strives to be different! Our results are based on factual data and you will never see a non-certified product that you never heard of being rated highly for the sole purpose of pushing sales like we often see on other review sites.

With increasing computer processor speeds being able to handle heavy workloads and improving performance significantly, TSA Scores are focused more on how well a security product protects your system from malware, viruses, and threats as opposed to how much system impact does this security product have. Reality is, if you obtain a nasty Ransomware virus as an example, does having a product that uses limited computer resources matter if you can no longer access your computer?

The TSA Score is determined by analyzing the latest review data from multiple independent testing laboratories, other reputable third party review sites and our many years of experience in the security software industry. The results from these sources are then inputted into a proprietary formula that determines the final TSA Score.

Description

AVG Internet Security

AVG Internet Security is better than ever. It now scans for both malware and performance issues, helps you avoid fake websites, and with its all-new, refreshingly simple design, you can see exactly how you’re protected.

Computer Protection

Advanced Antivirus

Thoroughly scans every corner of your computer (and any drives connected to it) in real-time for viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, rootkits, and other nasty forms of malware. You can even schedule whole-computer scans for those times you won’t even be at your computer.

AI Detection

PUA Scanner

Scans for potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that you may have unknowingly downloaded (e.g., adware and other malicious applications bundled with downloaded software).

Real-Time Outbreak Detection

Cloud-based technology helps stop even the newest malware variants and outbreaks in real-time. Anytime our antivirus encounters an unknown threat, it uploads it to our ThreatLabs team for analysis. They’ll then send out a cure to all our millions of users via a security update. The end result? Better protection for everyone.

Software Analyzer

Like an alert watchdog, this feature works in real-time to sniff out suspicious behavior of any software running on your computer and warn you if anything is amiss. This helps protect against 0-day threats, malicious programs, and even keyloggers that secretly record typed passwords and bank account details.

Web & Email Protection

Email Shield

Blocks dangerous email attachments to prevent you from falling victim to fake emails or friends who may have unknowingly forwarded you malware.

Link Scanner

Helps you avoid dangerous websites by scanning clicked links for threats and warning you of anything suspicious. This works for any link on the Internet, including those on Facebook® and Twitter®.

Online Shield

Scans downloaded files before they reach your computer to protect you against hidden malware.

WiFi Guard

Helps you avoid malicious hotspots used by hackers by warning you when you connect to an unsecure WiFi network.

Private Data Protection

Data Safe

File Shredder

Did you know that files deleted from your Recycle Bin can still be recovered? File Shredder securely deletes data to help prevent unintended or unauthorized recovery.

Payments Protection

Anti-Spam

We block spam, scams, and malicious phishing emails to keep your inbox cleaner and help stop you from giving your passwords and credit card numbers to the bad guys.

Secure DNS

Helps you avoid fake websites so you don’t unknowingly give criminals your passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data. We do this by preventing criminals from hijacking your DNS (domain name system) settings by using our own secured DNS servers to faithfully direct you to real websites.
